An Open Invitation
The Scene: The office of Wrestling Championship Federation’s Vice President of Digital Media Content.
The Cast: Vice President of Digital Media Content Lisl Anne and WCF backstage personality Bryan “Buzz” Worthy.
The Time: NOW!
*Lisl looks across her desk at WCF’s most superfluous backstage personality.*
LISL: Bryan, as you know, the company is going through some financial hardships lately.
*Buzz knows this. He fidgets in his chair, and gives his boss a slight nod.*
LISL: The Mexico Incident cost the company a lot in revenue, not to mention future expenses in pending legal fees. Money’s tight. We need to cut corners.
BUZZ: Am I being fired?
*AVN’s ‘2009 MILF of the Year’ gives him an reassuring smile.*
LISL: No.
BUZZ: Do I have to start wrestling again?
*Lisl laughs for a good five seconds.*
LISL: No. But we are expecting you to increase your responsibilities. Appearing in Stuart Slane promos isn’t enough to justify your salary as it’s currently constituted. Therefore, I am putting you in charge of WCF’s Exceptional Projects Division.
*Worthy, happy he doesn’t have to step back into the squared circle anytime soon, sighs in relief.*
BUZZ: Ok, good. Um, what exactly will my new duties be?
LISL: Well, the specifics are up in the air at the moment. What WCF needs you to be is the company’s ‘go-to’ guy for special media events; like Seth’s upcoming roast.
*Wham! There’s that other shoe. Bryan’s good humor begins to wane.*
BUZZ: I beg your pardon?
LISL: Seth Lerch’s birthday is next Monday-
*This is true; you can look it up.*
LISL: - and we’re going to broadcast a roast to honor him. What we’ll need you to do is secure a venue, recruit speakers, and host the ceremony.
BUZZ: I see. Isn’t this awfully sudden? Gatherings like this take months of planning usually.
LISL: You will have the full resources of the WCF Media Department at your disposal.
BUZZ: I’m sure that will be a big help. But, Lisl, and I’m hope I’m not overstepping my bounds here; I have to question the idea of holding a roast to honor a man who has not exactly endeared himself to the rest of his profession recently. Most of his employees, past and present, hate him.
*The stacked brunette gives Worthy a look that would seem to question his media savvy.*
LISL: That’s the show’s appeal, Buzz. The WCF Galaxy will be tuning in in droves to watch Seth get verbally eviscerated. I know I’ll be watching. Plus, what’s the worst that can happen? Seth puts all of our contracts in his paper shredder? We can just go start another fed somewhere else.
*Bryan smiled weakly at his immediate superior.*
BUZZ: Right. Of course; a birthday roast to honor Seth Lerch it is then. When should I start?
(RIGHT NOW. I thought it would be a fun thing to do in honor of Seth’s real life birthday to put together a ceremony where various WCF figures ‘honor’ the WCF founder with a few words. This would be open to anyone who wants to participate, and can be of any length and level of complexity. What you would need to do is note me your character’s speech to me before Monday, July 18. What I’ll do is take the different segments and put them together by including little introductory segments from Buzz. Then, on Monday, the entire thing will get posted here on the Internet Board. Of course, as with all roasts, Seth himself will get to have the last word. If you’re interested, or if you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to either message me or comment below. Thanks.)

Again, my apologies.
